research and planning: Photoshoot makeup

Polyvore skills development

I created a Polyvore account to create collages of my magazine photoshoot designs.

This enabled me to use the "Create" option to begin a blank canvas, using the search toolbar to find similar clothing to the ones i intend to use in my photoshoot. You then click and drag items into the collage and resize them as you wish.



I could also develop my collage further by adding detailes such as hairstyles, makeup and propps in section called "Embellishments". This added depth to my photoshoot and will make it faster when switching between outfits.







I finally added text to label each collage as "RARE PHOTOSHOOT", as well as add my name. I thus completed three finished looks for my main feature and cover photoshoot...
